Goalkeeper Sergio Romero was expected to meet his new Manchester United team-mates in San Jose on Saturday night after flying from Buenos Aires.Romero, who played in last year's World Cup when Argentina reached the final, has been lined up by Van Gaal as a replacement for Victor Valdes.The 28-year-old keeper played for the Dutch coach at AZ Alkmaar when they won the Eredivisie title in 2009.Romero had been due to fly in with international team-mate Angel di Maria but the winger is set to complete his move to Paris Saint Germain instead.
United will try to sign another goalkeeper if David de Gea gets his wish and joins Real Madrid this summer.
Meanwhile Holland defender Daley Blind has pledged to be United's player for all positions after appearing at centre-back on the US tour.
Blind, who played mostly at left-back or as a holding midfielder last season, is becoming United's 'Mr Versatile', with forward roles just about the only outfield positions he hasn't tried.
'I played a lot as a central defender at youth level and also for a few games at Ajax,' he said. 'The manager knows I am a player that can play in different positions. I will play where the manager needs me. He is playing me now in this position and I will try to do my best.
'Of course, every position needs something different but I think I know the different positions and try to adapt the best way and try to play my own game. I don't think the manager will put me up front!
'Working for this manager is about learning every day. We are trying to do that and as a new team. You can see the new players are involved very quickly so I am happy that we are acting like a team as well.'
